Ho man, I remember when J2EE came on the scene and it was a breath of fresh air compared to the 10,000lb CORBA and DCOM gorilla that was common then.

People like to bash Java without understanding how things turned out as they did.

Ho man, actually I understood both CORBA and DCOM well it was a lot simpler than today's nightmare mish mash of everything.

CORBA was mostly a year or two before my time, but it wasn't terrible. Just verbose and failed by the tooling and language support at the time.

Personally I don't know how we ended up back at "RPC good" land after going through "REST good, RPC bad" for 5-10 years.
